Università Roma Tre

The course “Innovations in planning” is made up of two modules: Urban Regeneration and Sustainability and climate adaptation.

The module Urban Regeneration will deal with the issues and with the most useful tools of urban and regional management, with particular reference to the integrated approaches considering jointly physical aspects (brownfields recovery, public spaces redevelopment , urban expansions), social issues and environmental aspects of urban settlements.

A particular attention will be given to cooperative tools amongst various public administrations and to collaborative tools between public and private subjects ( the so called Complex Plans and Urban Regeneration Programs) that nowadays represent the most innovative forms of city management in Italy.

The module will offer, as a practical assignment, a training detailed scale urban project on a site chosen by the student.

The Sustainability and climate adaptation module of the course will explain the various urban issues caused by climate change, exploring the experiences of climate adaptation carried out by European cities (Copenhagen, Rotterdam, London, Stockholm) and Italian cities (Bologna) to increase urban resilience, with particular reference to those seeking to reduce flood risks, to reduce heat island effects, to ensure the efficiency of public transport, to protect green areas and biodiversity.

As a practical assignment, the module will include the elaboration of a detailed adaptation project applied to an area of Rome characterized by severe climate issues.

The course “Innovations in planning” will activate forms of coordination with the Degree Laboratory “Resilient City, Resilient Society”
